TO THE GAZETTE.

The Fort Worth Gazette wants the opin-
ions of the editors of the Texas press
upon two questions. First, in view of the
tremendous prohibition defeat, is it not
best for the whole agitation to cease and
a vote in the late canvass to have no test
Importance next year? Second, would it
not be better to regard the whole question
as settled, and for the democratic party
to turn to working out its great mission?
AS to the first question, THE STATEsMAN's
answer is unqualifiedly yes! let the agi-
tation cease completely and for
all time. And with this ques-
ton put to rest forever the
vote in the last election should have
no deciding weight or significance in flu
ture party contests, as in the humiliation
of the question, the only excuse for the
desertion of prohibitionists from the
party is taken away, and they naturally,
without bringing any cause of dissension
with them, lapse back into the then COM
pleted party fold.
As to the second question, our first an
swer is sufficient to cover the ground there
stated. Yes! by all means, let US turn to
our duty and, as state and natio nal
party, begin to redeem the promises so
often made the public. Exeat prohibit
ton!

THESE Indian outbreaks grow monot-
onous. If the red men cannot be taught
the ways of civilized life, to settle down on
reservations and become peaceful and
self.supporting, they should be picketed
far out of the way of temptation to muir
der helpless women and children. 1t is
but poor show of governmental pru-
dence and protection to allow the wives
and children of our hardy pioneer
settlers, who go out to open up and
reclaim from natures wildness the
vast stretches of our fertile western
lands, and add to the wealth and prosper
ity of the nation, to be forever subject to
the wild and mad freaks Of these untamed
savages. The Indians have our pity in the
sad and touching history of their races
slow extinction; It's wierd tale, touched
off with the strokes of a gloomy and
pathetic romance; but at the same time it
is but chapter in the record of the march
of civilization, it is but one sacrifice upon
the altar Of the triumph of mind over
british instincts-and as the last passages
in that tale are being written, il is too late
TO cry hold. The savage Indian must still
yield TO the white man, and the white man
must maintain peace and security, even at
the expense Of the earlier extinction OF
the Indian race.

THE GREAT MAJORITY ACCOUNTED FOR.

Never, perhaps, were the masses better
informed upon any question presented
for decision at the ballot box than upon
prohibition, decided by the voters of this
state on the 4th of this month. The
rural populations, especially, informed
themselves, as perhaps never before, upon
any question presented for their ballots.
Barbecues, picnics and other methods of
drawing together large gatherings were
common and general throughout the state
Public speaking, by joint discussion and
otherwise, was encouraged and solicited
days of the country's history. Plows wer e
left standing in the burrows, workshops
were closed and the angils stilled, and men
hurried away to listen to speakers ex-
pound the grave question. And the wis
dom and conservatism of the "sunbburnt
sons of toil' may be measured by their
votes in that earnest contest; for, by OBJ
servation it will be seen that while many
towns, villages and few cities, voted
majorities for prohibition, more than
four-fifths of the counties declared against
it. And, with the exception of the vote
in two or three cities, the large and over
whelming majorities come from the
country precincts. Many of those who
fIr nj ha
cause, were imported from foreign states,
but only Texans opposed prohibition on
the hustingr. This alone commended the
anti-prohibition view to men who love
their state and who felt that there were
men in Texas of ample ability and intelli
gence to counsel Texans how to vote
Many thought it at least il
bad taste to send to Georgia
Kansas and other states to i'm
port eloquence. The truth is, without
incoming disparagement, the prohibition
speakers were over matched on the stump
by more able and better trained speakers
on the other side. Such political speakers
us Mills, Cook, Grain, Stewart, Shepherd
Hogg, Hancock, and others, overmatched
Carroll, Maxey, Kingsbury, Moore, Robin
son, Herndon and others. With, perhaps,
one or two exceptions, there were no
"hard hitters" within the other camp
But taking our own county, such
men as Judge Hancock, Major Joe
II. Stewart, Hon. @. r. Gibson and Mr.. B.
@. Giles are not easy to handle before
the people. And so it was very largely
in other counties throughout the state.
And the truth seems to be, that
the canvass was better managed and
the question more ably and vigorously
discussed and handled by the anti prohi-
bition speakers; and one evidence of this
is the overwhelming majority in the state,
and the tremendous vote among the farm
ers against the prohibition amendment,
for 1t is we'll known that prohibitionists
looked to and counted on the rural popu-
lation to vindicate their cause. But farm
ers are always conservative and not borne
away by prejudice. The late election is
not the first instance in which, by their
cool and conservative judgment, they
have rebukcd attempts to assail the liberty
of the citizen. Dstort the facts if 20.
will, but the truth remains that the
country people throttled prohibition.

How To Save Boys.


Women who have sons to rear, and dread
the demoralizing influences of bad assocl-
alton, ought to understand the nature of
young manhood. 1t is excessively restless
It is disturbed by vain ambitions, by thirst
for action, by longings for excitement, by
irrepressible desires to touch life in mani
fold ways. If you, mothers, rear your sons
SO that your homes are associated with the
repression of natural instincts, you will be
sure to throw them into the excitement
that cannot in any measure supply the
need of their hearts. They will not 60 to
the public house, at first for the love of
liquor; they go for the animated and hila-
rious companionship they find there, which
they find does much TO repress the disturb
ing restlessness in their breasts. See to it,
then, that their homes compete with pub
lie places in their attractiveness. Open
your blinds by day and light bright fires
by night. illuminate your rooms. Hang
pictures upon the wall. Put books and
newspapers upon your tables. Have music
and entertaining games Danish demons
of dullness and apathy that have SO long
ruled in your household, and bring in
mirth and good cheer. Invent occupations
for your sons. Stimulate their ambitions
in worthy directions. While you make
home their delight, fill them with higher
purposes than mere pleasure, Whether
they shall pass happy boyhood, and enter
upon manhood with refined tastes and
noble ambitions, depends on you. Do not
blame miserable bar-keepers if your sons
are seen there. Believe 1t possible that
with exertion and right means mother
NAV have more control of the destiny of
her boys than any other influence whatever.

The statue of Gambetta in the Place de
Caroussel is being proceeded with apace by
NJ Aube, the sculptor to whom the important
work has been intrusted. The figure of the
great tribune is, however, still unfinished, the
head only, which bears striking resemblance
to the original, being completed. The whole
of the figure intended to represent the genius
of the nation inspiring the orator is well nigh
done, and gives good idea of the general
effect of the monument.
Gambetta will be represented with his
right hand pointing toward the frontier in an
attitude of appeal to the children of France,
beneath him being an officer with broken
sword in his hand and falling over a cannon.
By the sides Of the tribune are workman,
sailor, and figure representing soldier of
that territorial army which Gambetta sum-
moned to arms to resist the Germans in 1870.
